I don’t know if I feel that my daughter and wife may not be so comfortable living at home.
Mei You and Mei Sanma hurried non-stop towards the Gaoshan town where their aunt was married, shortening the journey that was originally expected to take two or three days to one and a half days.
When he arrived in the town, Mei Youqian did not forget to settle the mule calf first. For this purpose, he stayed at the only inn in the town and added some money so that the waiter could feed the mule calf.
After that, Mei Youqian took Mei Sanma around the town twice and quietly approached the Chen family's old house.
The old home of the Chen family is in Gaoshan Town. Although it is not at the level of a landlord, it is considered to be a well-off family among ordinary people.
Looking across the bluestone road at the large courtyard across the street, Mei Youqian could only say that the house that her deceased grandmother chose for her daughter was really good.
The family has a strong financial background, and when I think of my aunt's appearance and appearance when she appeared, it means that she has not endured hardships after getting married.
After confirming the location of the Chen family's residence, Mei Youqian was not in a hurry to take Mei Sanma directly to the door.
Instead, we went to a noodle shop in a nearby busy market that seemed to be doing the best business and settled down for lunch first.
Gaoshan Town is not as good as Lihu Town because it is close to the dock. There are many people going north and south to rest, and the news is mixed.
Most of the people here are from the town or surrounding villages, and chatting is almost always about local matters.
From the moment Mei Youqian and the others sat down in the noodle shop, he looked around and noticed that everyone was chatting familiarly.
When the lady boss brought the two bowls of egg noodles, Mei Youqian stopped her and asked her like she was chatting, "Madam boss, has anything happened in the town recently? It's our first time here in Guibao. , I’m not very familiar with this place, and I couldn’t even hear all the excitement... What did I hear just now that the Chen family refers to...?"
Mei Youqian smiled naively, but the landlady didn't take it seriously after hearing this. She just said: "Hey, isn't it a coincidence that the two guests are here? The Chen family you heard about is probably the blacksmith's family. "
The man Plum Blossom married was originally a blacksmith.
The lady boss of this noodle shop will also say it.
I was afraid that they wouldn’t know who Mr. Chen was, so I simply started talking about the old Mr. Chen when he was young.
Before Blacksmith Chen got rich, he married the only daughter of a blacksmith family in the town and inherited his father-in-law's skill in blacksmithing.
Later, when his wife gave birth to a son, she died of dystocia, so Mr. Chen relied on his blacksmithing skills to raise his only son.
It wasn't until his eldest son got married and inherited the blacksmith shop that the old man remarried his wife, the aunt of the Mei family.
Hey, will you be the mother-in-law when you come here?
Mei Erniu's original memory was just a formality when it came to sending someone off, so how could he still remember the specific circumstances of the family where Mei Jinhua was marrying?
"Then this old blacksmith is not young and has married a beautiful wife. He is indeed worthy of being praised~" Mei Youqian agreed, and the landlady waved her hand and said: "Oh, is this kind of sesame and rotten millet worthy of being criticized every day? ?”
"Did something new happen to their family recently?"
Mei Youqian just listened carefully, and he didn't expect that something happened to the Chen family recently!
Judging from the appearance of the landlady, this matter seems quite sensational.
"Isn't that the eldest grandson of the Chen family just got married last month~"
"What?!"
Mei Sanma's reaction was huge. When he saw everyone around him looking at him, he froze for a moment. Mei Youqian immediately laughed and said: "Hey, this eldest grandson is already married~ How old is he?"
"Sixteen, not too young."
"Oh, Shiliu...how many grandsons of Shiliu do they have?"
"Look at what you're asking, how many can there be, isn't there just one? Their grandchildren so far only have one grandson and one granddaughter."
The noodle shop proprietress has made it so clear, so who else could she be talking about than Chen Baodan?
"What's wrong with getting married? Isn't this a good thing?"
"But the bride disappeared at the beginning of this month after she was so good~"
"ah?"
Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma were also stunned.
"I heard that the old lady of the Chen family had just gone out to visit relatives with her grandson, and her grandson's daughter-in-law suddenly died at home. She said she died of illness, but how could her family believe it?
You guys are too late. The granddaughter-in-law’s family was still making trouble two days ago! He also said that he wanted to report to the official. "
"Then why didn't you report to the official later?"
Mei Youqian asked this immediately.
"Who knows?" The noodle shop owner shook her head, "Maybe a settlement was reached privately?"
As people have said, reaching a settlement is nothing but a waste of money.
Brothers Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma looked at each other. Needless to say, there was definitely something fishy going on!
***
In the next few days, Wei Meili took Mei Berry with her wherever she went, and also took Miao and Mei You along the way.
Basically, he leaves early and comes back late, leaving Mei Jinhua untouched by anyone every day.
As long as I can't touch you, don't try to disgust me. .
That's what Wei Meili thought, but what Wei Meili has been thinking about these past two days is that when the time is right, she must get her place back!
If you disgust them, don't just think about escaping.
Mei You also knew what Mei Berry had encountered two days ago, and she even gave Mei Berry some advice.
Ask Mayberry if she wants to find an opportunity to put a sack on that guy and beat him up.
But Mayberry didn't adopt it.
As for why Mayberry didn't adopt it, her reason is also very simple——
With Chen Baodan's temperament that he didn't go out much on weekdays, knowing that they had beaten Chen Baodan, even if Mei Jinhua had no evidence, they would have to bring trouble to their house.
"There are so many ways to get revenge. There is no need for us to just wait for a while. When my father and third uncle come back, I have to make him look good!"
On this day in the mountains,
The wild pear tree that Meiberry and her family marked earlier has also matured recently. Meiberry and Meiyu climbed the tree to pick pears, and Meiberry talked about this matter again.
However, Mei You was also disgusted by Chen Jinbao's sudden appearance this morning.
The sentence "Even if my grandmother likes you, you still want to enter my house, you should give up." It directly made Mei You feel the feeling when Mei Berry heard Chen Baodan speak two days ago.
If there hadn't been a villager washing clothes passing by near her at that time, Meiyou would have pinned her to the ground and given her a good beating!
So, now picking pears with Mei Mei, Mei You once again proposed to find an opportunity to beat Chen Baodan.
As a result, Mayberry refused again and made it clear that she wanted to hold back a big one.
"What if your father and my father don't find any useful information?"
Mei You feels that it is better not to place all your hopes on Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma.
"How could it be? Do you think that my aunt took his eldest grandson all the way back just to find a grandson-in-law? Why not find a grandson in your own place for such a difficult matter?
If you really want to kiss and get married, you have to go to your uncle's house, right? The eldest cousin in my uncle's family is much more suitable in age than us. "
"Then uncle has to agree."
"Yeah, that's right. Make it look like our family will agree."
Mei Bei thought that Mei Jinhua had mentioned in the village the past two days about finding a wife for her grandson.
Although she didn't explain it clearly, who wouldn't know that she was attracted to her mother's child?
No matter what information her father brought back, even if it was useless, Mayberry would find a way to ruin their reputation.
How could people in the village go all the way to confirm this news?
Thinking of this, Mei Berry smiled and said, "I think they must have lost their reputation in their own local area and cannot find them, so they came back."
Sensing something in Mei Berry's words, Mei You's pear-picking movements slowed down by two points.
"Instead of sneaking around and beating people with sacks, it's better to humiliate them openly. If they fight back, sister, you can beat them in front of everyone."
"Then I hope my father and second uncle will bring some good news when they come back..."
Maybe Meiyou and Meiberry's wishes were really heard by God.
So, that evening, when Mei Bei walked to the door of her house with her mother holding a bag of pears, she saw her mule cart coming back against the setting sun.
Meiberry saw her father coming back this time. In addition to his third uncle, he also brought two strangers back in the car...
Mei Youqian: Someone is coming! Dance! Make trouble! Make trouble!
I swear, tomorrow’s update will definitely screw up Chen Baodan! !
